Using Raw green mangoes

put the mangoes in pressure cooker along with some water and boil then for few minutes.

Barley Water

This water mixture is for someone who has low agni (digestion). It is very easy to assimilate and nurturing for fat tissue which in turn makes good quality bone tissue.

    * 2 Tbsp cracked barley or barley flour
    * 2 pinch salt
    * 4 cups water

Combine above ingredients and cook for about 15 minutes so that it is some what overcooked. Use a filter or strainer to obtain barley water. If you use cracked barley instead of barley flour, you will need to place the mixture in a blender for a few minutes prior to straining.

    * For Vata body type: add 1/8 tsp whole cumin to barley mixture while cooking.
    * For Pitta body type: add 1/8 tsp fennel to barley mixture while cooking.
    * For Kapha body type: add 2 thin slices fresh ginger to barley mixture while cooking.
